Add an ActiveSync or BES license

To set up your Microsoft Exchange email account on your mobile device, add an ActiveSync or BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) license through the Cloud Office Control Panel. Perform the steps in this article to add an ActiveSync or BES license.

1. Log in to the Cloud Office Control Panel and select Go to section -> Microsoft Exchange.

   

   Note: The Cloud Office Control Panel that you access depends on the region in which the service was started.

   • US Cloud Office customers, use https://cp.rackspace.com/.

   • International and MyRackspace Cloud Office customers, log in to https://login.rackspace.com/. In the top navigation bar, click Select a Product > Dedicated Hosting, and then click Products > Cloud Office > Open Mail Control Panel.

   • Or, all customers can access https://cp.rackspace.com/usercp directly.

2. In the Exchange Email Accounts section, select Other Services -> Mobile Messaging.

   

3. Select View Users for either Blackberry or Activesync (iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile), depending on your device, and then click Add.

   

4. Select the user to whom you are assigning the license.

   This works differently for different kinds of licenses:

   • If you’re adding a BES license, select the user to whom you are assigning the license from the Select User window, provide a 4-digit activation pin under Activation Password, and click Save.

     

   • If you’re adding an Activesync license, select the user to whom you are assigning the license from the Eligible Users in this Domain window, click Add in the middle, and then click Save.

     

     Note: After you’ve assigned your licenses, allow 10 minutes for them to fully propagate.
